The insinuation in some quarters suggests that, Engr. Sule the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State is deliberately delaying the appointment of Commissioners and Special Advisers pending the outcome of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal should be disregarded by the public as it is totally unfounded.

The public is already aware of the unrelenting propaganda by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, especially with regard to the ongoing proceedings of the Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal where the PDP is challenging the declaration of Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule of the ruling All Progressives Congress is the winner of the March 18th Governorship Election in the state.

Before now, the opposition party and its social media agents had based their propaganda on misleading publications which they usually sponsor in some sections of the media at the end of every sitting of the Tribunal to gain public sympathy.

Adding that,” It is, however, glaring that the people of Nasarawa State, who believe and appreciate the development strides recorded by the Engineer Sule administration in the last four years and his sustained commitment to consolidate on these achievements have refused to be carried away by the media propaganda hence they have changed tactics”.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Nasarawa State Governor on Public Affairs, Comrade Peter Ahemba described the pressure mounted on the State Governor, Engineer Abdullahi Sule by the opposition political party, The People’s Democratic Party as a new distractive strategy to duel on the delay of the appointment of Commissioners and Special Advisers which is strictly within the purview of the Governor to decide when, who and where to appoint members of the State Executive Council.

The new appointee who before his appointment was the Nasarawa State Correspondent of Nigeria Pilot Newspaper disclosed this while reacting to some trending social media stories attributing the delay due to the ongoing Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, In a press release says the delay was meant to select the best brain.

According to him, “It should be noted that the matter instituted at the Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal against the Governor is not in any way a hindrance to appointments by the State Government.

The electorates of Nassrawa State have freely given their mandate to Engineer  Abdullahi A. Sule by voting massively in the recent Governorship election, as such, hence he will, by the grace of God, remain in charge of affairs for the next four years.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Governor has already assembled highly experienced individuals with proven integrity and expertise and is ready to help in driving his administration’s vision for appointment as Commissioners and Special Advisers.

We therefore call on the people of Nassrawa State to remain calm as the Governor, will in no distant time, send the list of the Commissioner-nominees to the State House of Assembly for screening and possible confirmation as required by law as well as appoint Special Advisers.
